LEOMINSTER -- Fidelity Bank recently announced that it once again has been named one of the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts by the Boston Globe. This is the second consecutive year Fidelity has made the list.

Fidelity moved into a new category this year -- medium employers -- and saw its ranking improve over last year. The bank is ranked 19th out of 40 medium-size businesses, whereas in 2011 Fidelity ranked 37th out of 40 in the small-employer category.

This is the fifth year that the Boston Globe has announced its Top Places to Work and the second time Fidelity Bank has been included in the rankings.

"We are elated that we've made the Boston Globe's Top Places to Work list for the second year in a row," said Edward Manzi Jr., chairman and CEO of Fidelity. "We have a fantastic team of employees to thank for this honor. They're the backbone of our company and the ones who deserve the credit for helping our clients get where they want to be."

Echoing similar sentiments was John Merrill, president of Fidelity.

"Your business is only as good as its people, and we have a great group of people working at Fidelity," Merrill said. "Their dedication to our bank and to our customers goes beyond words. I'm personally humbled and gratified by their recognition of Fidelity as one of the top places to work."

The results were based on surveys of thousands of employees at companies across the state. The survey was conducted by WorkPlace Dynamics of Exton, Pa.
